Hey guys, wanted to chime in and see if I could get some help. Im pretty sure its just the cable, it creeks and is a bitch to come out loosely. Changes gears fine and whatnot. I did a lot of driving around dust and such, Im thinking thats what really caused it to start getting sticky. Ive looked in and around on here, actually found a really good topic on this subject already that sounded like a lot of the same problems Ive been having. Just wanted to take some pictures and double check with the people on here, and get your guessing more expert opinions. First off I would love to know what would be the best kinda lube to use on the line; I dont wanna have WD-40 because it'll draw dirt to it. Anything better would be helpful.

As far as the SPOTS to lube up, here are some of the pictures so i can better SHOW you what the hell Im even talking about. Ive tried to put arrows on all the spots so you can hopefully seem them more easily.

First picture is the lever to the tranny, from which the cable is pulling

Second theres a picture of where the cable and the level hook up

The third picture is where the cable is bare then goes into its sleve

On the forth I have the cable line shown going through the firewall and into the into the car

Finally I have an inside shot of the cluth pedal, least as best as I could. Wondering maybe if its just the tension spring behind the pedal which you can kind of make out, or where the line hooks up when I cant even see

Any advice would be helpful. Im still looking through stuff on here, but please if you have any thoughts post them and let me know. Thanks again!
